We're Getting Married!

Shaun and I matched on the dating app, Bumble. Shaun's profile photo was with a cute bulldog so I asked what his dogs name was. Sadly it was not his dog. He and I went on our first date at Crossroads church in Carol Stream. After the church service we went to Village Tavern for lunch. We had also planned to go for a run after lunch. It's probably a good thing we decided to reschedule the run since it was 95 degrees outside and we were sweating eating lunch on the patio at Village Tavern. We had no idea there would be more dates to come!

We got engaged on a beautiful December day at the boathouse on Lake Ellyn. One of our favorites spots for picnics. And yes Shaun said we were going to have one last picnic since it was a sunny day in December. And for some reason I didn't question anything. Looking at the frozen lake I turned around and he was on one knee. I thought he was joking until he pulled a small box out of his pocket. Moments later we were joined by our family. It was a total surprise and a day I will remember forever!
